Great parenting app!

I love this app and all the details it holds. The calendar is awesome and I like that it has the expenses on it too. I would like for the calendar to have different colors for categories so when you see the month you can tell which days have events and which days have expenses (and other colors coded to other categories like school calendar days). Even without the other parent being involved with the app it’s still very handy to have everything kept in one place. Tracking expenses helps with budgeting as well as showing where money is being spent on your child(ren). I have a separate budgeting app for my everyday bills and spending but it would be nice to have some of the features this app has for expenses (pie charts, expenses broken down by type, etc). If this maker doesn’t already have a budgeting app they should make one. I definitely recommend this app to any parent whether single parent doing it on their own, parents still together, or separate parents who are coparenting. This app is remarkable. I am using it for both of my boys and their fathers a I love that more than one “circle” can be formed in the app. My request to the developer is to find a way for the view for both parents to be similar. My coparent does not see anything the way I do.

Brey's Opinions
We recently started using this app and have had a good experience thus far. I really appreciate that it is a free app and has the ability to add the parenting schedule, kids activities, medical info, payment tracking, messaging, memos, etc. It really does a good job of covering all the bases. And you can export all the info for court uses if that's something you need. I really only have one thing I'd like to change; I wish the calendar monthly view showed the event name instead of just color coded dots. I really like to look at a month view and see the event name from that view. Great app, 10/10 would recommend. Also worth noting, if you have multiple children this allows you to choose that child for that event/parenting time. This could be a very resourceful app for parents with multiple children with different dads/moms as you could have all parents connected through this app and separate the schedules per child & their other parent.

I like the looks but....

I like some things (that you can select certain kids for events, the way the calendar looks, options for viewing calendar), but the calendar is annoying. What’s the point of the calendar importing my iPhone calendar (where I already have the event I need entered) if I can’t just duplicate the existing event to share it or just plain share it? This app makes you create the event again in the app in order to share it even though the event you may want to share has been created on another calendar and has been imported to this app, and is sitting there staring at you while you’re in the app. Nope create the event here AGAIN just to share. And I might be able to deal with this, but when I want to enter events such as my kids camps or sports practices, I can’t duplicate an event on an additional day. You have to re-enter the information day by day. For example, I tried entering my daughter’s tennis camp. This event is the same thing, same time four days in a row, but I have to re-enter all the information for every single day. If this app would at least duplicate events on separate days I would use it.I ONLY need an easy calendar to share kids event & trips with my ex, & this is just too much for me to want to do.

If your schedule is complex do not use this app

I want to say that I was using this app for almost six months without problems. My ex and I work polar opposite schedules and sometimes we have to change our agreed hours for the month. For the last couple months anytime that I have made a change to the schedule the app auto populates to incorrect dates or doesn’t show the parenting time altogether. I have tried to edit the times, delete the times, which still end up stored under the months parenting times but do not display and when I try to remove those times get an error message. I have been in contact with their support and basically once they have checked that I am up to date on the current app stop responding. This app has a lot of potential but is really being mishandled by the developers. FYI - in a brief search I have found other people complaining of the same issues. And the developer responds by saying it’s a competitor, spreading rumors without a grain of truth and that they are reporting the review. It really shows you how scummy the developer is. I’d be happy to share screenshots of all the bugs with this app. I feel sorry for anyone who has the same issues and are court mandated to use this app.
